.It means more work, of 'course,
but it you are tired o f • growing
the -,same tter-eotyped plants
..which are 'offered around the

new • colors.' and new types
which 011 flatter your enter-
,, prising spirit. Catalogues vary
.a lot. Some are drab and offer
,fevy suggestions. Others 'seem
to stick year in year outtto
the same' types' of fiowers,al
]befit improved. ,Send. to the
Geo, • W. Park Seed ' Co., at
Greenwood, South Carolina, and;
you will obtain a vtieell rounded
, ° selection of new and old favor-
ites, beautifully illustrated of d
with • a wealth of information
..as to culture, time to flower
and suggeations for some„ color
schemes. • -
- You might -try.; some, seed of
early mixed chrysanthemums.
They will bloom thefirst season,
just as will the dahlias, and the
plants will last for many years
if protected . in winter. These
are •full and semi -double with
three to four inch flowers in
.shades -of red, pink, white, yel-
low and intermediates. Then
there is a combination of Wee

an annual dwarf delphinium

A plant which seems to thrive
• in the warm. dry houses which
we cultivate in. winter is the
cyclamen. Seeds 'sown show at

eight weeks and begin to bloom
at 18 months. A long wait ,no
doubt, but an inexpensive way
of getting a plant which will
blooms for' two or more months:
ihere are several varieties. The
hardy outdoor, in red, , rose,
,pink, lavender, • ppurple .• and

masses of 'nature •bloonis.

ors and a new Cih?bria strain in

and ruffled edges. The' seeds
are ,expensive, costing 5 to .10•
cents . apiece, however every
seed, ash., a rule, produces a
plant. .
Pursuing the , winter dime
plant- idea, there are numerous
begonias which bloom freely and
give muchcolor. The double
Jewelite, kr example, has var-
ied forms from rose -like full
double to anemone and carna-
tion type» flowers. .,There ' are
the Fl Hybrids growing2 from
five to eight inches high. The

the people of GQderich. In this
respect, perhaps, the appeal dif-
fers from some others. It may
best be expressed by saying
that helping St. John • is . like
supporting your own church as
opposed to supporting a foreign
mission, for. in this, the St.

said that charity begins at
